Of course I did. Elo knew that he was a thief, that being the reason why she was used as an undercover to track him, together with his fellow gang of robbers. More so, Jude was also present at the scene of the robbery, kindly read through the story again, he was the one who later delivered them to safety.

EPILOGUE

The news that the robbers who carried out the Bank attack were completely annihilated circulated across both national and international television platform, and over half the money stolen was retrieved after the Police later raided the Church and found out where the money was kept in a storehouse.

The government then took possession of Jude's Multi-Million Naira mansion plus his exotic cars and sold them off to raise the other parts of the total money stolen.

Elohor eventually, didn't only reported the story in the most emotional and exceptional way, but also wrote a book entitled "The Devil Has A Conscience" whose theme was drawn from Jude's biography, and the book later became a Best-seller of all time.

Though, Jude became a fallen hero, but the so-called 'Twelve Disciples' later met their waterloo, and all died like animals.


************************
It cost nothing to be good and just. See no evil. Hear no evil. Do no evil. There is no reward for wickedness.

CHAPTER 9

Earlier, when Jude and Elo were still locked-up inside his inner chamber, he came clean and opened-up completely telling her exactly what he does for a living and how he was able to acquire his wealth. He also let her know the relationship he shared among the three armed men inside his sitting-room who were at the verge of haunting the both of them, and why they needed to act quickly, otherwise, be doomed.

Although, Elo was a secret undercover agent until her cover was recently blown, but somehow, her feelings were telling on her, as she had technically fallen in love with her subject which was against the rules of the game. On the other hand, despite being among the criminals, Jude was now playing the role of the security agents by eliminating his partners-in-crime one after the other, hence, she had less worries to ponder over.

However, Jude soon noticed the fear in her eyes; he then drew her closer to himself, held her firmly and slowly planted a soft and succulent kiss on her forehead, before assuring her not to be afraid, and that everything would be all right. It wasn't long thereafter before they exited the room, but not until Jude had excused himself toward a table where he picked up a pen and piece of paper, and then scripted some wordings on it.

******************************
While driving back to the church, the road became boisterous and rough; police checkpoint were now suddenly mounted in several areas observing motorists passing by, and this wasn't unconnected to the fact that an accident occured earlier and a car involved caught up in flames while shootings were heared around the area.

On seeing them, Jude became alarmed and quickly made a U-Turn to evade police search.

Jude and Elo finally arrived the church premises but before they stepped down from the car, he positioned her to stay close to him, and then gave her his pistol gun, just incase, while he held the assault rifle which he had collected from Bishop and carried along the lifeless head of Croucher which was spilling blood on the floor as they walked into the church auditorium that was as silent as a graveyard.

"General! Where art thou?!!" Jude shouted with anger but silence answered back. "Guess what, I've got a surprise for you!" He added and then threw Croucher's head rolling on the floor like a ball.

Elohor then covered her face in disgust while seeing not only the head of a human, being hurled to the floor like nothing, but also the body of Margaret that laid lifeless too; as they walked closer to the alter.

"So you're scared now? Why are you hiding? Show yourself and face me like a man!!" Jude continued bragging, raising his gun and his other hand upward while turning his back around observing where 'General' would come out from, which became a point of distraction to him.

As you would know, General responded to the call and slowly sneaked out from his hiding place pointing a gun at Elohor from the back with whom he had a direct contact. The supposed pastor mercilessly aimed for the kill, but before he could pull the trigger, Jude saw his shadow and swiftly turned around forcefully pushing Elo out of reach, and suddenly, the bullet came trailing his chest, he was hit at once and fell down to the floor bleeding profusely but did not die.

Elohor painfully screamed immediately she saw what had happened, and about then, a reflex action took over her, as she shot back at the pastor, but the bullet penetrated him not.

General then irked a loud evil laughter and attempted to shoot her, just then, a badge of numerous armed police officers bursted the church whilst shooting the pastor endlessly.

"Babashanga, Ayama'tanga!!" General repeated the incantation, continuously wailing and consulting the powers of the Voodoo priest to protect him from dying, but the shooting spree ended not, until the evil pastor finally dropped dead after the witch-doctor also died at his shrine.

The leader of the police team rushed toward rescuing Elohor who was their undercover agent, as she had earlier sent them a text message without the knowledge of Jude to send a patrol team to meet them at St. Clement Believers' Church. However, she paid little attention to the police officer as she crippled rapidly toward Jude who was dying slowly on the floor. Elo held his blood-stained hand firmly and bursted into uncontrolled tears as she saw his condition. Jude was bleeding through his mouth and chest where he was shot and showed little signs of surviving.

With the last strength that he had, Jude reached for his pocket and handed Elohor a piece of paper, he then smiled before giving up the ghost. Jude died protecting the one and only person he had left on earth, and whom he truly loved.

In the note given to Elohor, it reads: "I love my mother till death, and I would have taken a bullet for her to still be alive today. This is my response to the question you once asked me, on whether I could die for love."

Truth is, Jude already knew that he would either die that day, or become arrested and still get killed.

CHAPTER 8

Margaret attempted to shoot her supposed boyfriend who suddenly turned an enemy, but instead, she got shot and died on the spot.

The tension had drastically risen and the battle line was drawn. The rest of the Gang immediately pulled out their guns and began firing shots toward Jude who took to his heels after killing his estranged girlfriend. Eventually, Jude cheated death after escaping out from the church auditorium but not without the support of the church wooden benches which he had used as cover in order to shield himself from bullets penetrating his body.

The General was very mad upon experiencing the drama that had just played before his very eyes; as he then gazed toward lifeless Margaret on the floor, and furiously ordered the Gang members to chase after Jude and bring back his body to him, either dead or alive.

The squad were spontaneously gingered with a feeling of adrenaline as they made for the kill by trouping out of the auditorium simultaneously. They rushed to occupy two of their parked 'BMW' vehicles positioned at the church compound and began following Jude who had long zoomed off with his Range Rover Sport. Though, Jude was driving at top speed, but his Gang members were able to catch up with him as the Car Stering was handled by Spaco and Croucher who were their Baddest and Roughest drivers in the game. As soon as they were driving past an Estate area, Bishop, Small, and Zoe thrust out their heads from the car windows and continued shooting the Range Rover from a close range while Lucious and Ufuoma gingered them with praise until their guns were completely emptied with bullets.

"Poo!!" Spaco muttered loudly with frustration and then hit his hand on the stering upon realizing that they were out of bullets.

"What do we do now?" Ufuoma asked puzzled while sounding slightly above her voice.

"Don't worry! I know exactly what to do." Spaco assured. He then sped rapidly and bumped into the Range Rover from behind, thereby, distracting Jude from maintaining a particular lane. His plan was to ensure that Jude loses control of the stering and probably somersault.

However, Spaco had his plans poorly calculated as Jude, once again drove faster above limit while they followed suit; But then, he halted shortly, and Spaco who was accelerating at top speed could no longer control the motion and came crashing into the Range Rover Sport with full force.

Spaco immediately passed away from the sudden accident that practically damaged the car beyond repair and later caught up in flames, burning them beyond recognition. He died alongside Small, Lucious and Ufuoma who were his occupants.

Croucher soon drove toward the scene of the accident and met his Gang mates dead. His thinking faculty could barely reason the next course of action to follow, then he caught a glimpse of Jude sticking out his middle finger in a bid to mock him and then sped off again.

The chase continued and Jude practically led them to his house whilst having a sinister plan up his sleeve. As soon as Jude reached his mansion house, he came down from his Range Rover vehicle which was also badly damaged and remotely opened his gate without closing it. Sooner had he entered his apartment than the Gang arrived; the trio stepped out of their own car and made for the boot of the vehicle where several sophisticated guns were kept. Croucher, Bishop and Zoe gallantly entered into the compound carrying assorted guns of different kind and were fully prepared to unleash their rage at any living creature that crosses their path.

Meanwhile, Jude diplomatically barged into his sitting-room as though nothing had happened and met Elohor sprawled on the couch watching a Noolywood drama on Africa Magic.

"Honey! Since you left the house, I've been very uncomfortable. There's something I've been meaning to tell you." Elo stood up quickly and said; while Jude acted indifferent but picked the remote instead and switched off the television.

"I forbid you to speak! I know you're working with the police. Let's leave this place now, our lives are endangered." Jude blurted and started dragging Elo up toward the staircase and into his inner chamber.

"Did you just say endangered?" Elo asked as fear had suddenly developed within her.

"C'mon... Let's go. There's no time to waste!" Jude reiterated while raising his voice.

They finally reached his inner room but the whole place was dark. Jude reached for the switch, and suddenly the room became illuminated. The room was almost empty, but had a nice furniture, together with a computer system and different monitor mounted on a desk. Jude then pressed a key on the computer and the whole monitor became live. It appeared that he had security cameras stationed at every corner of the house which reflected on the computer screen.

Jude proceeded to press another key on the computer and his sitting room was immediately shown. Croucher, Bishop and Zoe were captured in the parlour carrying their guns and gazing around wondering where Jude had entered. On seeing them, Elo immediately covered her mouth in shock and prayed inwardly that the ground could just open and swallow her.

"Do not panic! I have the situation under control." Jude assured her and then walked away to an extreme corner of the room where a big red button was inside an emergency glass. He impatiently broke the glass open with a pistol gun and pressed the button. Just then, a chemical induced gas started diffusing into his sitting-room from a connected channel, and - in no time, Croucher, Bishop and Zoe started gasping for breath. Their predicament lingered long enough until they couldn't battle to survive anymore and finally passed out dead.

Moments later, Jude and Elo came out of the house covering a chemical protective mask, but not after Jude had chopped off Croucher's head and carried one of their gun, as himself and Elo entered his Toyota Camry car and headed back to St. Clement Believers' Church to pay 'General' a courtesy visit...

CHAPTER 7

A heavy dose of sex is best enjoyed without protection, but not until you're bursted by the most unwanted person to spoil the day.

Margaret ignited the door opened and slowly stepped into the sitting-room unnoticed to behold her 'Traffic Light' Boyfriend and a strange lady lying half unclad on the floor with a completely emptied bottle of champaign and wine positioned at one corner. She owned a spare key to the mansion, hence, had the ability to intrude which she had just done.

"Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!" Maggi started clapping her hands in a scornful way while pacing around a circle which had them covered.

Jude and Elo surprisingly woke up staring with disdain and proceeded to wearing back their clothes before facing a show of shame. Margaret didn't looked too bothered that her estranged boyfriend had the guts to bring a strange lady into the house during her absence, as she had equally been on a romantic vacation with a man-friend of hers. But what struck her attention was the fact that she could easily identify Elo not only as a Television Reporter, but also as one of the Victims involved in the Bank Robbery which they carried out. Perhaps, she wasn't so strange anymore, after she was broadcasted on television as the only victim survivor that survived that attack. Margaret instantly knew that something fishy was cooking in the kitchen, but then, there was barely time for mind games, then she dashed out of the house almost immediately and into thin air she went; without saying a single word.

Jude then turned to Elo and gave her a look of "Yeah! I know I have some explanations to make" about the lady that just left the room.

One hour later, Jude received an invitation from 'General' while he was still discussing with Elohor, and he knew instantly that he was already fu**ed up. The situation was becomming more messy and it appeared that he had a lot more explanations to offer. However, he decided to man up and dance to the tune of the music as he excused himself telling Elo that he wanted to attend a function but she insisted on following him which he refused. Jude left the house almost immediately and drove his Range Rover Sport while heading to the venue of St. Clement Believers' Church where a meeting between "The Twelve Disciples" was scheduled to hold.

On getting to the place, Jude walked into the Church auditorium with boldness and met a full house involving members of the Gang he belonged to. Among them was his estranged girlfriend, Margaret who held an Ak-47 rifle staring at him frantically from a distance with a sudden feeling of disgust. Other members of the Gang were also furiously present in the meeting awaiting his arrival. They included Ufuoma, the second female in the building; Small, Spaco, Croucher, Lucious, Zoe, Bishop, and most importantly, The General himself.

"John 10:10 ; The Devil cometh not but to steal, to kill and to destroy. It is not surprising to say that we have the Devil in our midst, and here he comes." General said and ignited the burning hatred that the rest members of the Gang had suddenly developed toward Jude who stood a little farther observing everyone of them. "When Babashanga revealed to me that Preacher was killed by a member of his own family, I immediately knew it had to be my second-in-command. But Son, after all I've done for you, why have you chosen to betray this family?" General said while holding a Bible he had collected from the alter.

"I'm sorry for what happened to Preacher, his punishment was well deserved!" Jude answered. "But heaven knows that I did not betray this family. I only found love. That's what happened. He added and caught a glimpse of Margaret's countenance which proved deadly.

"Love? Did I just hear you mention love? Can love give you all the wealth that you've acquired through this ministry? You amongst all people should know better that being a disciple, you don't love, especially not with an enemy!" General blasted.

"Listen to yourself. Yes, you gave me wealth but destroyed my life instead. Aren't you the biggest hypocrite ever. You claim to be a prophet, yet, don't practice what you preach. What is the essence of acquiring all the Wealth, Power, and Prestige in the world if you don't show love? In the same Bible which you're holding, The ten commandments all revolved around Love, and that's our primary purpose of living. Do you even study your Bible Mr. M.O.G?" Jude asked a Rhetorical question that sent the Pastor off Balance.

"I'll not have you come here to insult my personality. You have until Mid-night to get rid of that so-called new lover of yours before she drag us into the mud." General asserted.

"I'd rather die than do such a thing!" Jude confidently blurted which got everyone shocked.

"Then, be ready to die! Kill him and make it quick!!" General commanded.

The Gang members gallantly stood up ready to administer revenge on him for going against their code of ethics and also killing one of their own.

Margaret then cocked the Ak-47 rifle and aimed to pull the trigger pointing toward Jude...


*TO BE CONTINUED*

CHAPTER 6

It had since passed bed time, and was no longer a time to reflect on sad memories or long talks. Jude then suggested to Elohor that they should sign-off for the day as they both started walking beside each other through the staircase while Jude positioned his hand on her waistline and they finally made into his bedroom. The Masterpiece bedroom was dimly lit which had a Queen-sized bed at the Northern corner of the room. Despite having a large space which could occupy about five persons if the need was necessary, Jude insisted that Elohor sleep alone as he opted to spend the night at his Visitor's room.

Moments later, Elo switched back her cell phone from Airplane mode to behold tons of Missed calls and Text
messages from the collaborative unit
of the 'FBI' in conjunction with the Nigerian police. They had sent her
on this undercover mission and were
desperate to know whether she was
safe and to also ascertain what she was able to garner from her investigation.

The Bank had provided the Police
with footage of Jude which was captured by the Surveillance camera
situated at the Bank Premises on the
day of the Robbery operation. For about two months, they had been
trying to unravel his identity without
disclosing this information to the public. The investigative unit further
went to secretly mount his finger
biometrics to every Supermarket, Event outlet, Bank, and other Business centres that had 'CCTV' enabled facility mounted in its organisation. Eventually, they found out his complete details and were able to put a tracker on him which later led them to his house. But trying to play smart, they decided not to act swiftly and resolved to set him up using a woman in order not to hinder their effort to apprehend other members of the Gang.

Elo then shortly put a call through to
the investigative unit and spoke with
the leader of the team. She spoke slightly below her voice, and made
known to the leader that she was doing all right but currently had no
knowledge of the suspect's whereabout. While she claimed to
have spoken with him and eventually
seeing the movie with him, she lied
that he failed to succumb to her tactics, hence, she was unable to find out further details about him. She lied again that he left the scene without her and she struggled out in the dark to get a cab back to her house, but promised to improve her game next time. It was evident enough that Elo was already becoming head over heels toward jude; She wasn't sure whether she was making the right decision but then, from the religious angle, she saw a God in Jude, and hoped that he could one day see the light and become a better man. Perhaps, God was using her to touch his life for good, or so she thought.
Betterstill, the Devil was once an
Angel, same way an Angel could turn
to become the Devil, but either way;
she wanted to have a perfect blend
between Good and Evil as a way of
reporting the story in the most exceptional way. More so, when you
decide to Dine and Wine with the Devil, you should always expect the
unexpected.


ONE WEEK AFTER
Jude and Elo had been able to develop a greater bond between each other their rapport grew rapidly as though they had known each other for ages. After Elo left his house the following day, they kept communicating more frequently, met on several occasions and soon started behaving like lovers. Their friendship had suddenly transformed into an unofficial relationship, except of course - should Jude take a bold step in asking her to be his girlfriend.

However, Jude had planned to profess his love to her, and make his intention known toward her as he had fixed a date for the both of them
at a Classy Restaurant. The Night for
the date finally came and they met at
a Rendezvous. The tryst was beautifully decorated with good music, flashy lights and candle themed dinner. They made their orders to the server and the foods were shortly served. They discussed about different things, especially about themselves and it gets to a point when Jude magically unveiled a Black-box with a diamond ring placed inside, and then popped the big question.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Jude romantically enquired with a racing heart while squatting one of his knees on the tiled floor.

Elo was then shocked by his proposal; Even though she loved him, she didn't expected him to propose so quickly. But after remaining silent for a while, she broke the silence still.

"Can you die for love?" Elo asked while staring at him with a straight face. Jude became stunned by her question. He had not expected her to be sarcastic with such a serious matter.

"Pardon! Is that your own way of evaluating my love for you?" He retorted by answering her question with another question

"C'mon babe, don't be mad at the question. I don't mean to trample on your feelings. I just had a dream that..." She was saying.

"Ain't nobody talking about no dream here. This is reality girl. Be real with me. Is it a 'Yay' or a 'Nay'?" Jude interrupted and dropped the tongue wagging bombshell while switching to the African-American diction which had a huge influence in his original accent.

"A'ight! I'm sorry Babe.. Didn't mean to offend you. I'll gladly be your woman anyday, Yay!" She accepted his request and smiled while they lovingly stood up to hug one another. Just then, Elo saw two detectives from the police station whom she could clearly identify wandering about at an extreme in the restaurant, then her mood suddenly changed.

"You know what Babe, as a matter of urgency, I think we should start leaving!" She Lamented.

"Start leaving?! We had barely finished our meal. Why the sudden rush?" Jude asked a thousand questions at once.

"It's nothing. I just have a bad sensation that something uncool may happen here tonight, and we may as well be doomed if we don't leave here right now." She asserted and held his hand firmly while they began leaving the venue following another exit route.

In the end, Jude kind of suspected that something fishy went on, but decided to allow the thought slide not wanting to start up an argument.

They eventually reached Jude's apartment without having much to say to each other before arriving home. Somehow, Jude was able to weather the storm as the date practically continued at his sitting-room. He had reached for a bottle of wine from his shelf filled with collection of assorted wines and alcoholic beverages. They made a toast, drank and danced to the fullest, the mood was becoming heated and before you could say 'Jack Bauer' they started stripping themselves unclad, and Jude proceeded to give her a hot blown sex of her life. After the deed was done, they both instantaneously forgot themselves and slept off half-unclad in the sitting-room, but in the dawn of the following morning, an uninvited guest crashed into the house and there was trouble...

I've just updated.. I may drop another one later..

CHAPTER 5

The Night was fast approaching and the atmospheric condition was relatively cold prior to little drizzle of rainfall that reflected on the moment. The cozy breath of nature emitted fresh breeze that circulated around every nook and crany of the house which eventually made it unnecessary to power the air-conditioner regardless of stable electricity from the generator power plant mounted in the house. Jude was living the life of a king and could afford almost anything he needed as a man, yet was unmarried as a result of his occupation, even though he wasn't getting any younger.

Often times, he wished he could wake up every morning as a responsible individual and not someone who would have to steal or kill to survive. He had thought of changing that status several times but could seldom phantom the feasibility of that ever happening.

The door to the parlour was soon opened and they both stepped into the sitting-room which was practically a mini-heaven. Elo could hardly believe her eyes as she had entered the most expensive house in her entire life.

Jude positioned her comfortably on the sofa located at the southern flank of the room, and proceeded to his home-theatre system that instantly began playing slow RnB rhythm which was dimly volumed. He then started pulling off his shirt while Elo surprisingly watched and started imagining how she was about to be molested by a criminal. Although, she would have freely given-in to sex because her assignment as an undercover was more important than being f***ed once by someone she barely had feelings for. Everything seemed set for a perfect romantic night of intimacy which would have been one of a kind should Jude had capitalized on the opportunity. Instead, Jude walked back to the couch where she was seated and sat beside her before enacting a conversation

"You're welcome to my crib ma'am, please do not hesitate to feel at home." He said and then curved his lips into a cute smile. Elo replied in appreciation and again, she stared directly into his eyes but what she saw was a loving man with a good heart, who was unfortunately wanted for robbery.

"So Elohor, tell me more about yourself. I mean everything." Jude said and leaned his back closer toward a small pillow near him, and raised his eyebrows up whilst looking interested.

Elo was instantly reeled with goose bumps as though she was about to be interviewed by the devil himself, but then, she managed to coordinated herself together as she started telling about herself.

After she was done telling about herself, she purposely told the truth about some things, and lied about some other things; but above all, she omitted the part where she was a television reporter. It became Jude's turn to give a hint into his person and he equally did the same thing, telling the truth and also lying about himself, especially on what he does for a living.

In his story, he started by narrating from the early days of his youth while he was struggling as a young adult from a poor hardworking background. He was the only child his parents had and they virtually gave and sold all they had ensuring that he was able to acquire formal education. He was the only hope his pauper parents had to enjoy the little benefits that life had to offer before they would eventually migrate to meet with their creator. His mother, though, wretched, yet sold her clothes and other belongings to send him through school. His late father also took loans to pay for his tuition fees, accommodation, feeding and social well-being while he was still an undergraduate. At a point, his father was unable to remit the loans he had borrowed, then the monetary institution that granted the loans teamed up to take possession of their only farmland which was initially used as collateral and left them with nothing. It wasn't until then that he was offered a scholarship to study abroad after he finished as the best graduating student in his department while in the university; but his mother had no money to pay for his travelling ticket, hence, he rejected the offer. Few years later, he was able to have his Master's done in Nigeria, at the University of Ibadan but was left stranded in the labour market with no profiting job to his degree. Then, his mother was struck with a severe illness. They couldn't afford to take her to the hospital, that way, they began treating her traditionally, using medicinal herbs. To make matters worse, his mother later passed away while he was holding her helplessly, he clearly asserted that watching his ailing mother die slowly and unable to do anything to help was the most traumatic event that had ever happened to him.

As though that was not enough, he started losing the people he called his friends, his longtime lover also abandoned him, and then it seemed as if society had rejected him. Jude stressed that he contemplated committing suicide many times, perhaps, heaven would accept his soul. He then accepted the fact that his story was undoubtedly touching, but failed to acknowledge to Elohor that his life eventually turned around when he met a man called "GENERAL."

By this time, Elo was already covered with genuine tears and didn't know when she started narrating her worst ordeal ever experienced. She reflected on a particular robbery which took place in the city two months earlier, it was one of the worst act of terrorism ever experienced in the land, and even had international news desk 'CNN' reporting it to the world. Elo revealed to Jude that she was the only survivor in that attack which almost terminated her life until she was saved by an unknown person who shot dead her supposed killer.

Jude was immediately shocked after a mystery was unraveled; he had to find out that he was a hero to a strange lady he barely know, and whom he recently met at a function. He was uncomfortable still, but nonetheless, he had no worries having a close interaction and friendship with someone like her regardless of the secret they shared among each other. Although, it was against their code of ethics to keep close relationships with the opposite sex, let alone having a conversation with someone involved in one of the attack they carried out. Perhaps, he thought it was only an instance of coincidence, only if he knew that the lady beside him was working in cooperation with the FBI/POLICE in order to have him and his team arrested.

"You're a good man..." Elo slowly uttered while stressing the 'Good' part. "...and you should be thankful to God that your story has changed today." She added. Elo immediately started having a strong emotional feeling toward him, unknown to her that she was taking the worst decision ever...

CHAPTER 4

It had been two months since one of the worst Robbery Attack ever recorded in the history of Mother crime hit the commercial capital city of Warri, South-South, Nigeria. The attack which recorded the killing of Fifty-Four people including Security operatives and Bank customers was described as the most unfortunate event that shook not only the people of that region, but the entire nation as a whole. The tragic event left the various families of the deceased individuals grieving for the death of their loved ones; while pleading to the government that the perpetrators of the act be brought to book. The Governor of the state headed to the plea from these pained families, thereby conducting a Mass burial for the dead, and assured the families that the government would definitely fish out the culprits stating that anyone of them caught would be tied to a stake and sent to the great beyond.

Although, a member of the Gang was caught on that day of the operation whose identity couldn't even be identified as he suddenly lost his ability to speak. This was the handiwork of General who made sure that Stone do not say anything to the police torture unit that institutionalized him in a solitary confinement. He was later beaten severely until he passed away and his body thrown into an inferno.

The Bank attacked was almost in the blink of liquidation until the federal government intervened and offered them a loan from the federation account, so that they could proceed with business. The money stolen was reported to be over 7 Billion Naira, but it wasn't certain whether the figure was altered to suit personal favours.

Coincidentally, the lady who was the only victim survivor from the attack was a Reporter working with the State owned television station, and she was now secretly working with the FBI/POLICE in order to nab the criminals who nearly took her life.


*******************************
Jude had just had another heated argument with his ON/OFF girlfriend Margaret. The cause of their crisis always revolved around her sleeping with other members of the Gang. He had warned her several times to desist from such act - of which she promised to change, yet was still being intimate with General. On this day, he became vexed and decided to cool his head off at a cinema by seeing a movie. Jude then made out of his apartment shortly and went directly to his garage where his fleet of cars were parked. Regardless of the big brand of cars which he had in his garage, he decided to step out with his Toyota Camry vehicle. On getting to the cinema, he was walking towards the Theatre after purchasing the ticket, just then he received a text message from his estranged girlfriend, Margaret. In the message, Margaret had informed him that she was leaving his house and travelling to Abuja to return back to Warri in due time and wished that he should have gone back to his senses before she would return.

Jude was reading the message with excitement whilst paying attention to his phone, just then, he mistakenly bumped into a lady and she immediately fell to the floor yipping in pain. Jude was then instantly full of apology as he helped raised her back to her feet. Their eyes soon became interlocked, and then they froze admiring each other as though their lives depended on it. The lady was a full-blown beautifully created specie of human. Her eyes were as white as the cloud, and her fair-in-completion sleek skin was glowing like the sun. Jude was immediately lost in riveria as he could barely phantom when he broke the silence and striked a convo with her.

"Permit me the honour of knowing your name ma'am.." Jude muttered confidently still gazing into her eyes. Evidently, he was oblivious that the lady before him was the same person whose life he helped saved at the Bank when Preacher almost sniffed breath out of her.

"Uh! My name is Elo." She managed to utter while curling her weavon backwards. Elohor Emmanuel was one of the most sought after News Reporter across Niger-Delta. Her findings had greatly influenced the success of the Nigerian Army toward curbing the menace of militants activities terrorizing that region. It became of - greater interest upon her now that she was investigating another act of terrorism while working as a secret intelligent undercover together with the police, and especially as she was affected by their attack. Her role was to act as a research observer; while her motive was to expose the criminals with the aim of reporting their story, and also helping security operatives to reduce crime to the bearest minimum.

"I'm Jude, you can call me Jude. Please forgive me, but I'm triggered to know, why is a pretty lady like yourself would be walking all alone in a cinema, or - perhaps, are you here with someone?" He enquired slightly raising his eyebrows upward in a bid to appear more handsome. Jude was instantly flirting with her. However, he wasn't bad looking either and he also had the structure of a body-builder.

Jude had built virtually every part of his body as he was Muscular, had his chest pushed-up and a very attractive collection of biceps to match with. He was also Heighten, Dark-in-completion and had full facial beard. His appearance could best be linked to that of the Veteran Noolywood actor, Desmond Elliot.

"Actually, I'm waiting for someone, my Elder brother. We were supposed to see the movie together." She lied. "Hmmm... Lemme even put a call through to him now!" She said and quickly brought out her phone from her handbag, and pretended to be calling her imaginary Brother. It was - all an attempt to perfect her plan in order to avoid any suspicious antiques.

After a while, she made a grimace look and then informed Jude that her brother was caught up in a meeting at his work-place and would not be able to show up anymore. She looked disappointed and slowly started walking away in a dejected manner, not until Jude interrupted her and said that they could watch the movie together; she succumbed immediately and they started walking together into the theatre.

The dance movie started in due time and everything was going smoothly until Elo started pulling some attitude. All of a sudden, she pretended to be dozing off while resting her head on his bosom. Jude was quite uncomfortable with such attitude of hers owning to the fact that he barely knew her, but still, he let it slide and feigned ignorance.

After the movie had ended, they were dispatching from the hall, and suddenly Elo developed cold feet. She was shivering and could barely stand upright. Jude had supported her to walk properly as she felt it was convenient to rest a huge part of her body on him. As though that wasn't enough, she lamented that she could not board a cab to her area alone at that profane hour of the night due to high rate of crime present there. Her excuse being that the situation would have been better supposing her Brother came along.

Jude thought about her ordeal for a while and offered that she pass the night at his place. She gleefully hugged him and showed appreciation for his kind gesture. Not long afterwards, they made for Jude's parked Toyota Camry vehicle, but not after Jude had ushered her inside using Chivalry. About then, he ignited the car and zoomed off almost immediately.

Finally, they reached Jude's multi-million Naira Duplex apartment which he had all to himself, and thereafter, things started going against plans....
